Learn More About Sydnee

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

This is the beginning of my professional cat sitting journey, outside of taking care of my own cats and cat sitting for family as they travel. I grew up with a dog, but once we got a cat for the first time we have not been able to stop getting more. I have been a cat mom for about 10 years, so I am well versed in cat care taking and feel confident in my abilities to cat sit until you return home.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love getting the chance to meet other cats and help you out in those times you need to travel. I know the anxiety that comes with leaving your cats at home and needing to know that you have a trustworthy person to look after your cats while you’re gone. It gives me purpose to feel like I am helping bring some comfort to you and your cats in those moments that I would want for myself as well when in need of a cat sitter. I also just have a big heart and my cats don’t always want all of the love I am trying to show them. I thought it would be a great thing to give the love I have leftover to other kitties who are feeling nervous and need to be loved up temporarily until you return home.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

Almost all of my cats have been timid or anxious, so I have a lot of experience learning their love language and how to create a safe space for cats. It’s important for me to know their favorite toys, treats, and ways they exist when around you so that I can try to recreate the stability they feel in these moments. If anything else, I respect your cat’s boundaries and am good at reading when they need a little more time to warm up to me or when they just want to do their own thing.

This was the 2nd time Sydnee watched Juno for me and I couldn’t be happier! She provided daily updates and photos and I came home to a clean apartment, watered plants, and a happy kitty! 10/10 would recommend.

Frequently Asked Questions

New York cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $31.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in your sitter before you leave.

Cats are territorial animals and don't do well in new environments. The presence of other cats, dogs, and even birds in kennels or animal hotels cause an immense amount of stress for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
